I’m Your Baby Tonight
Whitney Houston

From the moment I saw you, I went outta my mind
I never believed in love at first sight
But you got a magic, boy, that I just can’t explain
Well, you got a, you got a way that you make me feel
I can do, I can do anything for you, baby
I’ll be down for you, baby
Lay all my cards out tonight
Just call on me, baby
I’ll be there in a hurry
It’s your move, so baby, baby decide
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
From the second you touched me
I was ready to die
I’ve never been fatal, you’re my first time
I feel like an angel who just started to fly
Well, you got a, you got a way that you make a me
Feel I can, feel I can, do anything for you baby
I will fly for you baby
Hold on and enjoy the ride
I’m not in no hurry
We can fly all night, baby
It’s your move, now baby, baby let’s fly
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Whatever I do, boy
It’s all about you, baby
And ain’t the truth, boy
I’m helplessly in love with you
What else can I do, boy
But be there for you, baby
You got a, you got a way that you make a me
Feel I can, feel I can do any, do anything
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Looks like I’m fatal, it’s all on the table
And baby you hold the cards
You got the magic and I’ve got to have it
I don’t want the pieces, I want every single part
I’ll be your angel, I’m ready and able whatever you want is fine
Whenever you’re ready, just call on your lady and I’ll be your baby tonight
I’m your baby tonight, I’m your baby tonight
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight
Whatever you want from me
I’m givin’ you everything
I’m your baby tonight
You’ve given me ecstasy
You are my fantasy
I’m your baby tonight

Looking good Debbie. 😎

@ddshoppy,

Sending you a beautiful day shout out. 😘💕 I hope you are doing well. I hope you see this. ❤

@loaf,

Good Morning in the Rock and Roll Capital. I am checking on you I hope the kids
are all doing well. 😘💕 Enjoy the day OZ has some sunshine at last. 😎

@oodiebom,

Good Afternoon to you and your husband there in Florida. 💕😘Oodie I have had my
treatments for today and tomorrow I go back. The highways is not too busy. I have to
face time my dad. I wore my pink Heidi Daus Jacket with a pin everyone loved it.

I am just trying to stay cheerful and calm during this pandemic. I am in a hospital everyday.
I see the fear in some of the health workers. My team always welcome me and I am sure
to let them know how much I appreciate them being there for me and other. 💕😘

Passover 2020 will begin in the evening of
Wednesday, April 8
and ends in the evening of
Thursday, April 16

Remember don’t over do it. 💕

@sheba2011

Hi to you in Oz. Glad you are feeling good while going through the treatments. You are a ray of sunshine to those around you. Can I make a suggestion. Maybe a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates or cookies may help to not only say thanks but to bring a smile to their faces. The people working in the hospital sure could use a ray of sunshine to make their day. Even a card with a couple of balloons would help. Tough times for us all. And you’re right to stay away from the TV and news. It is real depressing. But, we will persevere and get through it.

Today is the first day I can honestly say that the energy level is where it should be. I was able to do quite a bit and now I can wash the kitchen floor and finish. I still have things to put out on the lanai and will do that either tomorrow or over the weekend. And speaking of the weekend, tomorrow is Trivia. I hope you will be able to be there. A whole week has past, AGAIN!!!!! LOL

@bichon18,

Good day in beautiful Florida. How are you and Jerry doing? Hang in there we will all
get through this. 😘 Amy sending OZ hugs to you and little Ari. 💕Prayers are being
sent for your friend. ❤ Sunny day in OZ.

@posh52,

Good afternoon in New Jersey. 😘 Posh it was so funny about your husband bringing
your packages to you. ❤ I hope this day finds you well. I have not turned the Telly on yet.
I have been at the hospital this morning getting my treatments. ❤😎

This has been an experience one I will never forget. I am trying to keep my family
calm and strong during this time. The hospital knows now but they mean business
and take my temps every morning. No visitors are allowed in the hospital.

I hope your MIL is mending well so she can go to her own home. 💕 Posh I was
smiling as I read your post from last night. I think your grandson is a treasure. 💕😎
I am glad you were alright between the laughter and everything else that was going on.
I hope this pandemic is over soon.

This is to cheer you up. 😘💕

@posh52,

I almost forgot here is something you and your husband will enjoy. No worries this
one has no alcohol. 😘💕

Looks delicious to me Sheba but my husband’s eyes light up when he sees Bud Light…..opposites attract, so they say.

@posh52,

No problem with all that is going on in the world everybody needs something.

Enjoy!

@taci,

Enjoy the hike today who knows what you may see in Cali. Stay safe and enjoy the view. 😘😎

Hello Sheba! Thanks for the lovely pink flowers. How are you today?

We had lots of rain last night and will again tonight. Today my husband and I hiked, then I read about groceries and what/how to sanitize. Tomorrow I might try to wash all the grocery bags.

Shout out all!

@71flowerchild,

Howdy dear friend in Texas! Flower OZ has the sun today thanks for the sunshine. 😘
Poppy is waving his tail at Jewel and Little D. I have had my treatments for today. 😎
Wishing you and your husband a great day in Texas. 💕😎

@shoelady60,

Good day in the burgh. 😘💕 I am so happy the contractors got in touch with you. YAY!
I am sure before long everything will be right as rain. ❤ Poppy and I are sending OZ hugs
to you and Jake. Be safe. 😘

@shoelady60,

😘💕🌹

I think we posted at the same time my kids are affected and they all work from their homes. No one lives in OZ.
My husband still goes to work and when he comes home I make him shower and I shower after my radiation treatments.

I am vexed every time I have to go to the hospital the staff and nurses all look stressed.I am a good Catholic girl
and I do pray.

I’m sure you’re looking forward to the weekend so you can stay home for two days. Our virus cases continue to increase every day. Hubby did yard work and I ran out for fruit, bread and wine. That almost sounds like I was on the altar at church instead of the grocery store. Mom and sis stopped for about 1/2 hour to get mom out of the house.

I’ve been meaning to ask you – are your children still working? We have all non-life-sustaining businesses closed at least through April 6th. A lot of businesses are suffering, especially our hotels with so many events/conventions cancelled along with sporting events. A number of hotels have closed. They cancelled our marathon and we get people from all over the world here.

Jake was a real character today. When he is happy or someone comes through the door, he picks up a shoe, pillow, shirt, etc.,and carries it around like a gift. Then he lays down and holds it in his mouth, never chews it or rips it. Well, he had almost my whole laundry basket throughout the house today because we were in and out with the warm weather. He presented my mom and sis with a pillow from the loveseat and then laid his head on it. Always a photo opportunity. Keep your boy by your side.

Cherie,

Sending prayers to S. Cali to you and the kids. Be well. 😘

WISH

When we wish for something, our consciousness opens to receiving it, like a flower unfolding its petals to receive a bee.

From blowing dandelion seeds into the air to throwing a penny into a fountain, we have all felt inspired to make a wish, to whisper our secret desires into the ears of the universe and wait for signs that we have been heard. Some wishes come true while others remain ethereal visions that either stay with us or fade like a star in the light of morning. Whether they come true or not, wishes are important missives, expressing our heart’s desire as well as our intention to create something new in our lives. When we wish for something, our consciousness opens to receiving it, like a flower unfolding its petals to receive a bee.

There is something innocent and magical about making a wish, something that recalls the energy of childhood. Wishing is not about formulating a plan and following it step by step to attain a goal, which is the realm of adulthood. Wishing is more like a playful volley across the universe, an invitation to play. Waiting for the response is an integral part of the process. Wishing inspires an innocent opening to the possibility of magic as we wait to see if the invisible realm will bring our wish to life. This opening is a beautiful gesture in and of itself, regardless of the outcome. We place ourselves in a magical mind, and this mind is arguably as wonderful as the fulfillment of our wish itself.

In our straightforward, action-oriented society, we may tend to dismiss the power of this seemingly passive process, yet the power of a wish is well known, hence the cautionary phrase, “Be careful what you wish for.” If you have given up wishing in favor of more adult pursuits, you might want to bring its magic back into your life. The next time you see the first star of the evening, or find yourself in front of a birthday cake covered in flaming candles, give yourself the gift of the magical realm that you knew so well as a child–close your eyes, open your mind, and make your wish. 😘💕

This was playing in my head during my radiation treatments this morning. 😘

Greatest Love of All
Whitney Houston

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I’ll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest
Love of all is happening to me
I found the greatest
Love of all inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Nice To Be Around
Paul Williams

Hello such a simple way to start a love affair
Should I jump right in and say how much I care
Would you take me for a mad man or a simple hearted clown
Hello with affection from a sentimental fool
To a little girl who’s broken of every rule
One who brings me up when all the others seem to let me down
One whose nice to be around
Should I say that it’s a blue world without you
Nice words I remember from an old love song
But all wrong, cause I never called it love before
This feeling’s new – this came with you
And I know that the nicest things that never seem to last
That we’re both a bit embarrassed by our past
But I think there’s something special in the feelings that we’ve found
And you’re nice to be around
And you’re nice to be around

Boogie Wonderland
Fire, Earth Wind

Dance, boogie wonderland.
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Midnight creeps so slowly into hearts of men who need more than they get
Daylight deals a bad hand to a woman who has laid too many bets
The mirror stares you in the face and says, “Baby, uh, uh, it don’t work”
You say your prayers though you don’t care; you dance and shake the hurt
Dance, boogie wonderland
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Sounds fly through the night; I chase my vinyl dreams to Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in Boogie Wonderland
All the love in the world can’t be gone
All the need to be loved can’t be wrong
All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying
“Boogie wonderland, wonderland”
Dance, boogie wonderland
Ha, ha, dance
Boogie wonderland
Ha, ha
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland
I find romance when I start to dance in boogie wonderland

Heart of Rock and Roll
Huey Lewis, Huey Lewis and the News

New York, New York, is everything they say
And no place that I’d rather be
Where else can you do a half a million things
All at a quarter to three
When they play their music, ooh that modern music
They like it with a lot of style
But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really drives ’em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip
Is something everyone should see
Neon lights and the pretty pretty girls
All dressed so scantily
When they play their music
That hard rock music
They like it with a lot of flash
But it’s still that same old back beat rhythm
That really, really kicks ’em in the
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating
Johnny, aw
DC, San Antone and the Liberty Town, Boston and Baton Rouge
Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City, Seattle, San Francisco, too
Everywhere there’s music, real live music, bands with a million styles
But It’s still that some old rock and roll music
That really, really drives ’em wild
They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating
And from what I’ve seen I believe ’em
Now the old boy may be barely breathing
But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeah
In Cleveland
Detroit
Uh, heart of rock and roll

@loaf,

Good Morning in Ohio. Loaf I hope your entire family are doing well. I miss you so much. 😘
Prayers that out world goes back to normal mode real soon. Loaf I had my treatment
this morning I think I am feeling the effects now but it is alright. 😎

Spring is not yet in OZ but it is on the way. 😊

@oodiebom,

Good day in sunny Florida. Oodie we are cloudy and raining. I made it to my radiation
treatments today. I think I am feeling something but nothing I can’t handle. 😘

Oodie I hope you and your husband are doing fine there I dread turning on the Telly.
I get overwhelmed by just hearing all the stuff the reporters report. I know we will
all get through this together. Hubby found some turkey and I am so happy it is protein
and that is what the doctors want me to have. 🌹Well Oodie here is to better days. 💕

@sheba2011

Good Evening to you in a raining Oz. Guess we will have to wait until next week for some of those drops to head our way. Meanwhile they are also reporting that our temps will be over 90 this weekend. YIKES!!!!

I’m getting some things done. It’s slow, but the fact is that the clutter is going away. I have quite a few things for Goodwill or Salvation Army. For now, they will remain in a box and as soon as things get better, will make a donation. Our shopping is on hold as well. I do need bread and onions, but will wait for the list to get a bit longer. Just not in the mood to take a chance right now.

Yes, during the radiation you really need the protein. That is why I also recommended Boost and other drinks for the times you won’t feel like chewing or when you don’t feel like making something in the kitchen. Yes, you need to stay hydrated. Take a look at Newman’s Own Lemonade. His children have several choices. The one I use is the diet because I need to watch the sugars for hubby.

I adore the Carol Brodie pieces you showed below. May take a look at them and then hem and haw on the purchase. Also will take a look at Iman. I bought so many things this month that I put myself on hold for a while. Wonder how long I will be able to turn the head the other way…..LOL.

15 more treatments, but who’s counting. You will be fine. Just try to stay out of trouble.

@oodiebom,

I am a good girl I am. 😘😎

@bichon18,

Good Day in Florida. Amy you and Jerry please stay safe. Sending OZ hugs to Little Ari. 😘
I am praying your friend will be well with you by her side I am sure she is grateful. 🌹

Amy I don’t like the Telly I think I will read a book. LOL! I feel the same way you do. 💕

@posh52,

Good afternoon in New Jersey just another day in paradise if you can call it that. LOL!
I am wishing you and Mr. Posh a good day. I don’t blame your MIL for wanting to be
in her own home. 🌹 I hope your daughter is doing alright with the new house. I wish
her and the kids all the best. Posh your daughter has a great team behind her you and your
husband. 😎We will all get there. I hope your nails are alright can you trim them a bit?
I wore my Heidi Daus Jacket to the hospital today and all heads almost snapped I guess
when all you see are scrubs and someone walks in with an exquisite jacket like Heidi Daus
you smile. 😘 I have 15 more treatments so I am getting there.

Hi Sheba and ladies, oh Sheba, I love the nails you posted. Beautiful, believe me I would wear them. Trimming my nails isn’t the problem, it’s the regrowth. It looks , well, like a lot of regrowth. I have an appointment next week but I don’t know if they’ll open and I don’t know if I’d want to go. New Jersey has the 2nd largest amount of Covid19 cases after NY, which certainly isn’t encouraging.

I was Face Messaging with my grandson and started really choking on some soda bread I was chewing. He kept talking and I couldn’t answer…I had tears coming out if my eyes from coughing so hard. I heard my daughter and granddaughter asking in the background what was wrong with me and there’s my 5 year old grandson yelling, I THINK SHE HAS THE CORONAVIRUS!!! So then I was choking AND laughing and that isn’t a good combination. No one checked if I died or not.

Staying put here so nothing exciting except a lot of jewelry buying on ShopHQ. My husband, who isn’t usually home when all the mail and packages arrive, said he walked about 5 miles cleaning up the yard and about 8 miles walking back and forth getting my packages from UPS, USPS, FED EX….he has such a sense of humor (said sarcastically).

Sheba, love the pitcher with the fruit. I like to do that when I have parties.

Another day down with your treatments….keep going Sheba!!! Can’t wait to celebrate when you are done.

Good night ladies

@taci,

Good Morning in Cali. Taci keep a safe distance I know it is nice to see others out.
We have people pushing baby carriages and their dogs in my area. I move at a fast
pace with Poppy so far no problems. 😎 Enjoy the hike and the view. 😘

Don’t forget your water. 💕

@71flowerchild,

Howdy dear friend in Texas. I want to show something from Carol Brodie upcoming April Show. 💕
Sending OZ hugs to Jewel and Little D. 😎

Beautiful! 😘💕 Please be safe.

@sheba2011
Howdy Miss Sheba🤗
Springtime has arrived in my area, after a week of cloudy and wet weather 😎😎.
I took the munchkins out this morning and saw our resident garden snake, Gilda, scoot across in front of me and wiggle into the wood pile. So glad Jewel and Little D weren’t close by at the time.
We are doing much needed yard work today. I am mowing and Hubby is weed whacking.

Not much to report here as we are staying put. Hubby has made a few quick trips to store as needed. Thankfully, we have food and the other essentials for now.
Yesterday, we took Jewel for her last Vet and laser treatment in this series. They were open but the lobby area is closed. We had to check in via phone and was told to wait in car or we could walk around outside until a Tech came to get Jewel. She came wearing a mask and gloves. We spoke with Dr. by phone after exam and procedure and a Tech brought her back out to us. This process seemed to work and everyone was respectful of each other. Jewel is doing good and we will do another series later after things settle down.
We’ve been doing our walking or bike riding in the neighborhood.
I bought some starter veggie plants and will plant those this week after Hubby tills the garden. The ground has been so wet that he couldn’t do it.
I hope you are able to eat something to keep your strength up. A nice turkey salad actually sounds good.🙂
Many Blessings to you Sheba🙏 . Thank you for sharing yourself and for posting those beautiful pictures every day. Sending long distance hugs to you and Poppy from your Texas Peeps, Jewel, Little D and me.😘😘❤️

@71flowerchild,

Thank you for your post I am so glad you like the pictures. Flower these pics are in my head
and all I do is just touch the keyboard. Things just come to me and in part my personality.
I told Oodie I am a good girl. 😎Well I try to be. 😘 The music is already in me. 💕

I am so glad Jewel is doing so much better. Have fun with the fur babies. 😘

@shoelady60,

Good Afternoon in the burgh. 😘Lady I hope you have a great day today.
I know how you feel. Keep Jake close. Sending hugs to both of you. 😎

ENJOY with your family. 😘💕😎

Good afternoon in Oz. Hang in there, my dear, the countdown is on. I know, easier said than done, but you have all of us on your side every day.

Got a hold of customer service yesterday and they apologized for not keeping in touch. My salesman called today and informed me that the floors are at the warehouse and as soon as they are permitted to install he will call and schedule the installation. That’s all I needed to hear and that they didn’t forget about me. Just wanted that common courtesy.

We keep getting more virus cases each day and I’m sure the stay-at-home order will continue. I cleaned a part of a closet today – threw out some things and others are going to the Vets/Goodwill. Mom and sis basically staying put. Sis lets her ride in the car but won’t let her go into the stores at her age. I’m not sure my mom realizes how serious this is. Jake is really enjoying us being home so much. We are sending love and hugs from our house to yours.

@shoelady60,

Poppy gets upset when I leave every morning he has a fit. Poppy always met me at the door.
I am so glad things are working out for you. I have a ton going on and I am getting rid of
stuff!!! 😘😎

Cherie,

Thinking of you and the kids in S. Cali please be safe. 💕😘

Clean clear water for you and the kids. 😘

This is for anyone needing a light laugh today.

Weeds

A plant is a weed only within a certain context; one person’s weed is another person’s wildflower.

Simply expressed, a weed is any plant that grows where it isn’t wanted. Weeds are defined by their tendency to flourish at the expense of a gardener’s overall vision, and we tend to battle their presence in our yards. It is interesting to consider, though, that a plant is a weed only within a certain context, which is to say that one person’s weed is another person’s wildflower. Most of us have pulled at least one dandelion up by its roots and disposed of it in the interest of preserving the look of a perfect green lawn, yet the dandelion is good medicine, packed with healing properties and vitamin-rich leaves that are a delicious, spicy surprise in a summer salad.

In the wild, there is no such thing as a weed because the overall vision is in the hands of Mother Nature, who accommodates and incorporates all forms of life. In nature, balance is achieved over the long term, without the aid, or interference, of a human supervisor. While one plant may prevail over others for a certain period of time, eventually it will reach an apex and then it will naturally decline, allowing for other forms to be born and survive. This self-regulating realm was the first garden of our ancestors, who learned the art of agriculture from studying the forests and fields of the as yet uncultivated earth. In a sense, weeds are harbingers of this wildness, pushing their way into our well-ordered plots, undermining more delicate flora, and flourishing in spite of us.

The next time you see a weed, you might want to look deeply into its roots, discover its name, its habits, and its possible uses. Instead of seeing an unwanted intruder, you might see a healer offering its leaves for a medicinal tea or its flowers for a colorful salad. At the very least, if you look long enough, you will see a messenger from the wilderness of Mother Earth, reminding you that, even in the most carefully controlled garden, she cannot be completely ruled out.

Note: Get your own style and stop copying someone else thoughts and feelings.
I never will copy anyone. Please just be yourself.

Note to self: I am only one woman 😘

Louis Armstrong
“What A Wonderful World”

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying
“I love you”

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Oh yeah

Jazzman
Carole King

Lift me, won’t you lift me above the old routine;
Make it nice, play it clean jazzman
When the jazzman’s testifyin’ a faithless man believes
He can sing you into paradise or bring you to your knees
It’s a gospel kind of feelin’, a touch of Georgia slide,
A song of pure revival and a style that’s sanctified
Jazzman take my blues away;
Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
Jazzman, oh jazzman
When the jazzman’s signifyin’, and the band is windin’ low
It’s the late night side of morning in the darkness of his soul
He can fill a room with sadness as he fills his horn with tears
He can cry like a fallen angel when risin’ time is near
Jazzman take my blues away;
Make my pain the same as yours with every change you play
Oh lift me, won’t you lift me with ev’ry turn around;
Play it sweetly, take me down, oh jazzman

Nate King Cole/Natalie Cole
“Unforgettable”

Unforgettable, that’s what you are
Unforgettable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That’s how you’ll stay (that’s how you’ll stay)
That’s why darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

No, never before has someone been more
Ooh unforgettable (unforgettable)
In every way (in every way)
And forevermore (and forevermore)
That’s how you’ll stay (that’s how you’ll stay)
That’s why darling it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Don’t Worry Baby
The Beach Boys

Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don’t know how long
I don’t know why
But I keep thinking
Something’s bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
I guess I should’ve kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can’t back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
She told me “Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby, nothing could go wrong with you”
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says “don’t worry, baby”
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
Don’t worry, baby
